Palin: Obama's Foil

This is an excellent piece in both writing and thought by Deepak Chopra about Obama and why Palin has made such ripples lately.

An Excerpt:
"She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and turning negativity into a cause for pride. In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of “the other.”"

In a lighter note, I will relate this to the sage of ceiling cat vs basement cat, as is told amusingly on this site.
